CONCEPT APCs are immunocytes that can uptake, process and present antigens to other lymphocytes.
CLASIFICATION Professional APC: constitutively express MHC II molecules MHC I
Professional APCs Dendritic Cells (DCs) Macrophages (M) B Lymphocytes
Non-professional APCs Endothelial Cells Epithelial Cells Fibroblast Cells …… Non-professional APC: express MHC I molecules
I. Dendritic Cells (DCs) Ralph.M.Steinman, 1973
Migration maturation Immature DC Mature DC
Immature DC Strong antigen uptaking and processing function Mature DC High level of MHC molecules and co-stimulatory molecules
Fluorescent Microscopy DCs in peripheral tissues DCs in lymphoid tissues
Scanning Electron Microscopy DC in peripheral tissues DC in lymphoid tissues
CHARICTERISTICS OF DC effectively uptake antigen effectively present antigen Express high levels of MHC II and co-stimulatory molecules (such as B7) effectively prime naïve T cells
Classification • LC: Langekhan's cell • IDC: Interdigitating DC • FDC: Follicular DC
Function Immune Regulation Antigen Presentation Immune Tolerance
Mononuclear Phagocyte System,MPS Bone marrow pluripotent stem cells Mononuclear cells Macrophages
Macrophages Phagocytosis and antigen presentation
Function Phagocytosis Antigen Presentation Cytotoxicity Wound Healing Secret Cytokines
III. B Lymphocytes BCR B Cell Receptor (BCR): binding with specific antigen
Summary APCs are immunocytes that can uptake, process and present antigens to lymphocytes. DCs are the most powerful APC in vivo, which can effectively stimulate naïve T cells to proliferate. M and B cells can only stimulate activated or memory T cells.

2、MHC class II molecule way APC:Professional APC Antigen:Exogenous peptides Molecule:MHC class II Processed area:Endosome Combined area:M II C
(1)Exogenous peptides Endosome Cathepsin 、Catalase 10~30 Amino acids
(2)MHC class II molecule Ia-associated invariant chain, Ii (Ii)3 nine polymer MHC class II compartment, M II C Ii chain degraded
Function of Ii chain Promote MHC class II molecule to assemble Prevent MHC class II molecule to combine with other peptides Promote MHC class II molecule transportation
The invariant chain is cleaved to leave a peptide fragment, CLIP, bound to the MHC class II molecule CLIP (class II-associatedinvariant-chain peptide)
Cell surface Endosomes Uptake Class II associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) (abIi)3 complexes directed towards endosomes by invariant chain Cathepsin L degrades Invariant chain CLIP blocks groove in MHC molecule MHC Class II containing vesicles fuse with antigen containing vesicles
